Quick Fires
What is a "Quickfire?"
A Quickfire is an assigned task, where the individual has to use unfamiliar restricted materials to create a product. During my MAET class, we engaged in at least one Quickfire a day. This exposed us to several new digital resources and allowed us to interact with our material in a creative and (sometimes) collaborative way.

The Maker Movement
In a land down under, they’re
Glimpsing at the future
Where our innovating mind is going back to our caveman roots. Where
We might not be starting fires. But
We’re pouding steel and
Making ideas tangible by
Adding flame to create something
Beautiful.
Age is only a number and this beauty can come from any mind’s dream
Let’s be a teacher, an innovator, a tinkerer
Let’s make art out of chaos and reimagine the world
Let’s take “trash” and tinker until we find the inside treasure
What if money wasn’t the mission, but rather
Playing, making and creating solutions
Stop chasing paper- it’s see through and disposable
It’s about cultivating an idea and becoming the “makers” of hope
Let’s lend a hand, give a hand, or create a hand for a child to use
My what a world that would be
